Make a monthly budget that will cover all your expenses. You can leave some „fun money“ aside but never blow your budget. Creating an actual budget will make it a lot easier for you to stick with your plan that will make you rich.

Cut Expenses

Find all expenses that aren't necessary and remove them all. Could you live without buying a coffee everyday before going to work? - Yes, definitely! This also means giving up on your bad habits, like smoking. It will be a lot easier for you to get rich without buying a pack of cigarettes a day. Just calculate how much money you are spending on cigarettes in the course of a year! Seriously do it!

Get rid of your Credit Card

People who buy with credit cards end up by spending much more money than people who pay with cash. The reason for this is simple; paying with your physical money feels harder than using a credit card. So if you are able to stop using your credit card you will end up saving a lot of money, trust me!

Reducing Living Expenses

Try to get as much coupons as possible and buy in bulk. Buying in bulk is by far the most efficient way to save some cash on things you use daily. Also, get into canning foods because about 45% of food goes to waste before it is ever eaten. Almost everything can be canned and stored for a longer period of time. Also gas and electricity take away a big part of your money monthly. Turn of lights if they aren't necessary, turn off the TV if you are not watching it. The amount of money you save this way will help you to become rich in the log run.

Invest in the Stock Market

Don't listen to people who will tell you that it is easy to make quick money with stocks by buying and selling them every day. You can and probably will end up losing a lot of money. Invest in stocks that have solid fundamentals and don't do anything with it, no matter if they are going up or down.

Save Money for Retirement

Plan to save money for your retirement. All wealthy people are working on things that will pay off in the future. Getting rich won't be fast and easy but with a little luck it can happen before your retirement.

If you get too comfortable when you'll have a lot money you will drop back to zero in no time. Keep saving as much money as you can.
